Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul provided a positive update on former teammate JR Smith after the latter stepped on a beehive during his first college golf tournament for North Carolina A&T on Tuesday.
In an interview with USA Today‘s Chris Bumbaca, Paul said Smith is alright, but the incident “scared [Smith] to death.”
“Yeah, yeah (laughs) he’s all right, scared him to death though. Scared me to death too when I saw the video,” Paul said. “He’s all right now. I think (former NFL wide receiver) Larry Fitzgerald told him the best thing he could tell him. He said, ‘There ain’t never no bee hives in the fairway.’ Stay in the fairway, he ain’t got to worry about that.”
